Bruins NCAA '67 champions
Bu CHIP ROUSE
Capping an undefeated season, the UCLA Bruins marched to their 30th victory of the campaign Saturday night, and in the process claimed the NCAA basketball championship with a 79-64 triumph over Davton.
With the championship, the Bruins became the second major-college team to claim the first-place trophy three times in four seasons, and became the fourth team to go through a campaign undefeated.
THE HOUSTON COUGARS, who gained the right to engage in the NCAA tournament by taking the Midwest Regional staged here March 17-18, captured third place in the tourney by posting a convincing 84-62 triumph over North Carolina.
UCLA defeated Houston, 73-58, on Friday night, while Dayton's high flying Flyers disposed of North Carolina, 76-62.
Don May, 6-4 junior of Dayton, captured top-scoring honors in the two-day tournament with a 55 point performance, coming on nights of 34 and 21 points respectively. Elvin Hayes, of Houston, placed second in scoring for the tourney with 48 markers.
Unfortunately, the performances by both May and Hayes were over-shadowed by the invincible play of 7-1 Lew Alcindor of UCLA.
THE CINDERELLA ATTRACTION of the tournament, Alcindor, only managed 19 points Friday night and 20 markers against Dayton on Saturday, but blocked an uncountable number of shots, pulled down a bundle of rebounds, and in general, literally led his teammates, as he has done all year, to the tourney championship.
UCLA, which has now seen action in the NCAA tournament eight times, took advantage of a cold 23.8 per cent shooting performance by Dayton in the first-half, and raced in front by 18 points.
From then on, it was rather easy riding for the Bruins, who finished out the remaining five minutes of the ball game with their reserves.
THE FLYERS, who were not ranked during the regular season, ended up the game firing at a 34.2 clip on 26 of 76 from the floor, while UCLA found the range on 34 of 69 for 49.3 per cent.
Of the ten players who started the game for each contingent, six were sophomores. UCLA started the contest with four, while Dayton used two.
Houston jumped out to a 23-12 edge early in the first stanza and was never headed in posting a victory over the Tar Heels of North Carolina for third place honors.
NORTH CAROLINA hit on 10 of 43 shots in the first-half, and found themselves helpless behind. 42-23.
The Cougars, ranked seventh in the nation, closed out the campaign with a 27-4 record, while North Carolina, ranked fourth nationally, finished up at 26-6.
During the tournament, John Wooden, UCLA head basketball mentor, was named coach of the year by the US Basketball Writers association. Alcindor had been named player of the year in an earlier vote.
Approximately 37,771 fans jammed into Louisville's Freedom Hall for the two-day roundball festivities.

She introduced one song as a number about a touchy subject, inter-racial marriage, then she began to sing "Froggy Went A-Courtin."
THE AUDIENCE clapped in time to "Anybody Ask You Who I Am" and "How Shall I Send Thee" at Odetta's request.
At the end of her performance, Odetta bowed first to her musicians and secondly to her audience. The applause thundered through Hoch and several people gave her a standing ovation, shouting "More, more!" She returned to sing a few more numbers.
She was called to the stage a third time by the audience and then turned the program once again to Count Basie, who wound up the show with some more jazz numbers.
